It looks like eucalyptus to me. is the sapwood area really fiberous?

 

[mwenman]

When I used to live in Sandy Eggo, had some Euc trees growing near my back fence and they looked just like that.

Looks just like the Euc in S. CA. Perhaps do a search on the net?

 

[wudnhed]

Yep, looks like Euc. to me too. We have tons of it laying around down the road.

Which one of about 7-800 Eucalypts do you think it is?
Most likely Sydney Blue gum OR perhaps Grey Gum Judging by bark and timber colour.

 

[Kalai]

Yes I know it is a Eucalyptus but I want to know which one.
R2 yes I was thinking it might be a Blue gum but I am not sure, I will be researching it more now that I have a few names. I know what it is not, it is not Robusta or Deglupta, the wood looks real nice, hay R2 is the Blue gum a good wood to work with? Thanks everyone for your help and aloha.

Chris Blue Gum and Grey Gum make great stuctural timbers and beautiful floor boards.
I've never tried to turn it. One of the problems with eucalypts is that, in general, they are highlt fissile. This is one reasn that they are not used in smaller work.

Becca, I think most of the Eucalypts in California are Sydney Blue Gums, and, if my cluttered mind serves me correctly, that is Eucalyptus Gkobulous.

 

[R2]

The walk around my cluttered mind left me with a feeling that I had mixed things up, and so I had!
Sydney Blue Gum is Eucalyptus Saligna
Tasmanian Blue Gum is Eucalyptus Globulus

Red Gum Eucalyptus Camaldulensis.
or White Gum Eucalyptus Argophloia.
